optionally by a space, which is not considered part of the
content.  In the following case <code>&gt;</code> is followed by a tab,
which is treated as if it were expanded into three spaces.
Since one of these spaces is considered part of the
delimiter, <code>foo</code> is considered to be indented six spaces
inside the block quote context, so we get an indented
code block starting with two spaces.</p>

paragraphs, headings, and other block constructs can be parsed for inline
structure.  The second step requires information about link reference
definitions that will be available only at the end of the first
step.  Note that the first step requires processing lines in sequence,

one block element does not affect the inline parsing of any other.</p>

consists of a string of characters, parsed as inline content, between an
opening sequence of 1--6 unescaped <code>#</code> characters and an optional
closing sequence of any number of unescaped <code>#</code> characters.
The opening sequence of <code>#</code> characters must be followed by a

preceded by a [space] and may be followed by spaces only.  The opening
<code>#</code> character may be indented 0-3 spaces.  The raw contents of the

as inline content.  The heading level is equal to the number of <code>#</code>

<p data-sourcepos="993:1-1001:54" dir="auto">A <a href="@">setext heading</a> consists of one or more
lines of text, each containing at least one [non-whitespace
character], with no more than 3 spaces indentation, followed by
a [setext heading underline].  The lines of text must be such
that, were they not followed by the setext heading underline,
they would be interpreted as a paragraph:  they cannot be
interpretable as a [code fence], [ATX heading][ATX headings],
[block quote][block quotes], [thematic break][thematic breaks],
[list item][list items], or [HTML block][HTML blocks].</p>
<p data-sourcepos="1003:1-1008:40" dir="auto">A <a href="@">setext heading underline</a> is a sequence of
<code>=</code> characters or a sequence of <code>-</code> characters, with no more than 3
spaces indentation and any number of trailing spaces.  If a line
containing a single <code>-</code> can be interpreted as an
empty [list items], it should be interpreted this way
and not as a [setext heading underline].</p>
<p data-sourcepos="1010:1-1014:8" dir="auto">The heading is a level 1 heading if <code>=</code> characters are used in
the [setext heading underline], and a level 2 heading if <code>-</code>
characters are used.  The contents of the heading are the result
of parsing the preceding lines of text as CommonMark inline
content.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="1016:1-1019:5" dir="auto">In general, a setext heading need not be preceded or followed by a
blank line.  However, it cannot interrupt a paragraph, so when a
setext heading comes after a paragraph, a blank line is needed between
them.</p>

<p data-sourcepos="1846:1-1850:61" dir="auto">A <a href="@">code fence</a> is a sequence
of at least three consecutive backtick characters (<code>`</code>) or
tildes (<code>~</code>).  (Tildes and backticks cannot be mixed.)
A <a href="@">fenced code block</a>
begins with a code fence, indented no more than three spaces.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="1852:1-1858:34" dir="auto">The line with the opening code fence may optionally contain some text
following the code fence; this is trimmed of leading and trailing
whitespace and called the <a href="@">info string</a>. If the [info string] comes
after a backtick fence, it may not contain any backtick
characters.  (The reason for this restriction is that otherwise
some inline code would be incorrectly interpreted as the
beginning of a fenced code block.)</p>
<p data-sourcepos="1860:1-1867:43" dir="auto">The content of the code block consists of all subsequent lines, until
a closing [code fence] of the same type as the code block
began with (backticks or tildes), and with at least as many backticks
or tildes as the opening code fence.  If the leading code fence is
indented N spaces, then up to N spaces of indentation are removed from
each line of the content (if present).  (If a content line is not
indented, it is preserved unchanged.  If it is indented less than N
spaces, all of the indentation is removed.)</p>
<p data-sourcepos="1869:1-1877:25" dir="auto">The closing code fence may be indented up to three spaces, and may be
followed only by spaces, which are ignored.  If the end of the
containing block (or document) is reached and no closing code fence
has been found, the code block contains all of the lines after the
opening code fence until the end of the containing block (or
document).  (An alternative spec would require backtracking in the
event that a closing code fence is not found.  But this makes parsing
much less efficient, and there seems to be no real down side to the
behavior described here.)</p>
<p data-sourcepos="1879:1-1880:36" dir="auto">A fenced code block may interrupt a paragraph, and does not require
a blank line either before or after.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="1882:1-1886:42" dir="auto">The content of a code fence is treated as literal text, not parsed
as inlines.  The first word of the [info string] is typically used to
specify the language of the code sample, and rendered in the <code>class</code>
attribute of the <code>code</code> tag.  However, this spec does not mandate any
particular treatment of the [info string].</p>

block, if no line is encountered that meets the [end condition].  If
the first line meets both the [start condition] and the [end

The <code>&lt;del&gt;</code> tag is a nice example.  We can surround content with

HTML block, because the <code>&lt;del&gt;</code> tag is on a line by itself:</p>

specification, which says:</p>
<blockquote data-sourcepos="3338:1-3341:51" dir="auto">
<p data-sourcepos="3338:3-3341:51">The only restrictions are that block-level HTML elements —
e.g. <code>&lt;div&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;table&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;pre&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;p&gt;</code>, etc. — must be separated from
surrounding content by blank lines, and the start and end tags of the
block should not be indented with tabs or spaces.</p>
</blockquote>
<p data-sourcepos="3343:1-3344:5" dir="auto">In some ways Gruber's rule is more restrictive than the one given
here:</p>
<ul data-sourcepos="3346:1-3350:0" dir="auto">
<li data-sourcepos="3346:1-3346:61">It requires that an HTML block be preceded by a blank line.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="3347:1-3347:49">It does not allow the start tag to be indented.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="3348:1-3350:0">It requires a matching end tag, which it also does not allow to
be indented.</li>
</ul>
<p data-sourcepos="3351:1-3352:34" dir="auto">Most Markdown implementations (including some of Gruber's own) do not
respect all of these restrictions.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="3354:1-3361:61" dir="auto">There is one respect, however, in which Gruber's rule is more liberal
than the one given here, since it allows blank lines to occur inside
an HTML block.  There are two reasons for disallowing them here.
First, it removes the need to parse balanced tags, which is
expensive and can require backtracking from the end of the document
if no matching end tag is found. Second, it provides a very simple
and flexible way of including Markdown content inside HTML tags:
simply separate the Markdown from the HTML using blank lines:</p>

<p data-sourcepos="3401:1-3405:22" dir="auto">Some Markdown implementations have adopted a convention of
interpreting content inside tags as text if the open tag has

much simpler to parse.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="3407:1-3410:59" dir="auto">The main potential drawback is that one can no longer paste HTML
blocks into Markdown documents with 100% reliability.  However,

<p data-sourcepos="4457:1-4460:45" dir="auto">A <a href="#container-blocks">container block</a> is a block that has other
blocks as its contents.  There are two basic kinds of container blocks:
[block quotes] and [list items].
[Lists] are meta-containers for [list items].</p>
<p data-sourcepos="4462:1-4463:26" dir="auto">We define the syntax for container blocks recursively.  The general
form of the definition is:</p>
<blockquote data-sourcepos="4465:1-4467:35" dir="auto">
<p data-sourcepos="4465:3-4467:35">If X is a sequence of blocks, then the result of
transforming X in such-and-such a way is a container of type Y
with these blocks as its content.</p>
</blockquote>
<p data-sourcepos="4469:1-4473:52" dir="auto">So, we explain what counts as a block quote or list item by explaining
how these can be <em>generated</em> from their contents. This should suffice
to define the syntax, although it does not give a recipe for <em>parsing</em>
these constructions.  (A recipe is provided below in the section entitled
<a href="#appendix-a-parsing-strategy">A parsing strategy</a>.)</p>

<a id="user-content-block-quotes" class="anchor" href="#block-quotes" aria-hidden="true"></a>Block quotes</h2>
<p data-sourcepos="4477:1-4479:78" dir="auto">A <a href="@">block quote marker</a>
consists of 0-3 spaces of initial indent, plus (a) the character <code>&gt;</code> together
with a following space, or (b) a single character <code>&gt;</code> not followed by a space.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="4481:1-4481:42" dir="auto">The following rules define [block quotes]:</p>

<p data-sourcepos="4483:5-4486:54"><strong>Basic case.</strong>  If a string of lines <em>Ls</em> constitute a sequence
of blocks <em>Bs</em>, then the result of prepending a [block quote
marker] to the beginning of each line in <em>Ls</em>
is a <a href="#block-quotes">block quote</a> containing <em>Bs</em>.</p>
</li>
<li data-sourcepos="4488:1-4497:0">
<p data-sourcepos="4488:5-4496:48"><strong>Laziness.</strong>  If a string of lines <em>Ls</em> constitute a <a href="#block-quotes">block
quote</a> with contents <em>Bs</em>, then the result of deleting
the initial [block quote marker] from one or
more lines in which the next [non-whitespace character] after the [block
quote marker] is [paragraph continuation
text] is a block quote with <em>Bs</em> as its content.
<a href="@">Paragraph continuation text</a> is text
that will be parsed as part of the content of a paragraph, but does
not occur at the beginning of the paragraph.</p>

the text after the list marker determines how much indentation

blocks must be indented at least to the column of the first

<p data-sourcepos="6276:1-6276:64" dir="auto">John Gruber's Markdown spec says the following about list items:</p>
<ol data-sourcepos="6278:1-6297:0" dir="auto">
<li data-sourcepos="6278:1-6281:0">
<p data-sourcepos="6278:4-6280:20">"List markers typically start at the left margin, but may be indented
by up to three spaces. List markers must be followed by one or more
spaces or a tab."</p>
</li>
<li data-sourcepos="6282:1-6284:0">
<p data-sourcepos="6282:4-6283:48">"To make lists look nice, you can wrap items with hanging indents....
But if you don't want to, you don't have to."</p>
</li>
<li data-sourcepos="6285:1-6288:0">
<p data-sourcepos="6285:4-6287:8">"List items may consist of multiple paragraphs. Each subsequent
paragraph in a list item must be indented by either 4 spaces or one
tab."</p>
</li>
<li data-sourcepos="6289:1-6291:0">
<p data-sourcepos="6289:4-6290:55">"It looks nice if you indent every line of the subsequent paragraphs,
but here again, Markdown will allow you to be lazy."</p>
</li>
<li data-sourcepos="6292:1-6294:0">
<p data-sourcepos="6292:4-6293:35">"To put a blockquote within a list item, the blockquote's <code>&gt;</code>
delimiters need to be indented."</p>
</li>
<li data-sourcepos="6295:1-6297:0">
<p data-sourcepos="6295:4-6296:44">"To put a code block within a list item, the code block needs to be
indented twice — 8 spaces or two tabs."</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p data-sourcepos="6298:1-6307:18" dir="auto">These rules specify that a paragraph under a list item must be indented
four spaces (presumably, from the left margin, rather than the start of
the list marker, but this is not said), and that code under a list item
must be indented eight spaces instead of the usual four.  They also say
that a block quote must be indented, but not by how much; however, the
example given has four spaces indentation.  Although nothing is said
about other kinds of block-level content, it is certainly reasonable to
infer that <em>all</em> block elements under a list item, including other
lists, must be indented four spaces.  This principle has been called the
<em>four-space rule</em>.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="6309:1-6320:48" dir="auto">The four-space rule is clear and principled, and if the reference
implementation <code>Markdown.pl</code> had followed it, it probably would have
become the standard.  However, <code>Markdown.pl</code> allowed paragraphs and
sublists to start with only two spaces indentation, at least on the
outer level.  Worse, its behavior was inconsistent: a sublist of an
outer-level list needed two spaces indentation, but a sublist of this
sublist needed three spaces.  It is not surprising, then, that different
implementations of Markdown have developed very different rules for
determining what comes under a list item.  (Pandoc and python-Markdown,
for example, stuck with Gruber's syntax description and the four-space
rule, while discount, redcarpet, marked, PHP Markdown, and others
followed <code>Markdown.pl</code>'s behavior more closely.)</p>
<p data-sourcepos="6322:1-6327:45" dir="auto">Unfortunately, given the divergences between implementations, there
is no way to give a spec for list items that will be guaranteed not
to break any existing documents.  However, the spec given here should
correctly handle lists formatted with either the four-space rule or
the more forgiving <code>Markdown.pl</code> behavior, provided they are laid out
in a way that is natural for a human to read.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="6329:1-6335:22" dir="auto">The strategy here is to let the width and indentation of the list marker
determine the indentation necessary for blocks to fall under the list
item, rather than having a fixed and arbitrary number.  The writer can
think of the body of the list item as a unit which gets indented to the
right enough to fit the list marker (and any indentation on the list
marker).  (The laziness rule, #5, then allows continuation lines to be
unindented if needed.)</p>
<p data-sourcepos="6337:1-6339:39" dir="auto">This rule is superior, we claim, to any rule requiring a fixed level of
indentation from the margin.  The four-space rule is clear but
unnatural. It is quite unintuitive that</p>

<p data-sourcepos="6452:1-6458:62" dir="auto">The one case that needs special treatment is a list item that <em>starts</em>
with indented code.  How much indentation is required in that case, since
we don't have a "first paragraph" to measure from?  Rule #2 simply stipulates
that in such cases, we require one space indentation from the list marker
(and then the normal four spaces for the indented code).  This will match the
four-space rule in cases where the list marker plus its initial indentation
takes four spaces (a common case), but diverge in other cases.</p>

<p data-sourcepos="8401:1-8402:43" dir="auto">Where rules 1--12 above are compatible with multiple parsings,
the following principles resolve ambiguity:</p>
<ol start="13" data-sourcepos="8404:1-8429:0" dir="auto">
<li data-sourcepos="8404:1-8407:0">
<p data-sourcepos="8404:5-8406:28">The number of nestings should be minimized. Thus, for example,
an interpretation <code>&lt;strong&gt;...&lt;/strong&gt;</code> is always preferred to
<code>&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</code>.</p>
</li>
<li data-sourcepos="8408:1-8410:0">
<p data-sourcepos="8408:5-8409:49">An interpretation <code>&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</code> is always
preferred to <code>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</code>.</p>
</li>
<li data-sourcepos="8411:1-8416:0">
<p data-sourcepos="8411:5-8415:34">When two potential emphasis or strong emphasis spans overlap,
so that the second begins before the first ends and ends after
the first ends, the first takes precedence. Thus, for example,
<code>*foo _bar* baz_</code> is parsed as <code>&lt;em&gt;foo _bar&lt;/em&gt; baz_</code> rather
than <code>*foo &lt;em&gt;bar* baz&lt;/em&gt;</code>.</p>
</li>
<li data-sourcepos="8417:1-8422:0">
<p data-sourcepos="8417:5-8421:49">When there are two potential emphasis or strong emphasis spans
with the same closing delimiter, the shorter one (the one that
opens later) takes precedence. Thus, for example,
<code>**foo **bar baz**</code> is parsed as <code>**foo &lt;strong&gt;bar baz&lt;/strong&gt;</code>
rather than <code>&lt;strong&gt;foo **bar baz&lt;/strong&gt;</code>.</p>
</li>
<li data-sourcepos="8423:1-8429:0">
<p data-sourcepos="8423:5-8428:26">Inline code spans, links, images, and HTML tags group more tightly
than emphasis.  So, when there is a choice between an interpretation
that contains one of these elements and one that does not, the
former always wins.  Thus, for example, <code>*[foo*](bar)</code> is
parsed as <code>*&lt;a href="bar"&gt;foo*&lt;/a&gt;</code> rather than as
<code>&lt;em&gt;[foo&lt;/em&gt;](bar)</code>.</p>

(the URI that is the link destination), and optionally a [link title].
There are two basic kinds of links in Markdown.  In [inline links] the
destination and title are given immediately after the link text.  In
[reference links] the destination and title are defined elsewhere in
the document.</p>

<li data-sourcepos="10409:1-10412:0">
<p data-sourcepos="10409:3-10411:43">Links may not contain other links, at any level of nesting. If

is part of a code span.</p>

<p data-sourcepos="10863:1-10876:61" dir="auto">(Note:  <code>Markdown.pl</code> did allow double quotes inside a double-quoted
title, and its test suite included a test demonstrating this.
But it is hard to see a good rationale for the extra complexity this
brings, since there are already many ways---backslash escaping,
entity and numeric character references, or using a different
quote type for the enclosing title---to write titles containing
double quotes.  <code>Markdown.pl</code>'s handling of titles has a number
of other strange features.  For example, it allows single-quoted
titles in inline links, but not reference links.  And, in
reference links but not inline links, it allows a title to begin
with <code>"</code> and end with <code>)</code>.  <code>Markdown.pl</code> 1.0.1 even allows
titles with no closing quotation mark, though 1.0.2b8 does not.
It seems preferable to adopt a simple, rational rule that works
the same way in inline links and link reference definitions.)</p>

description, which explicitly allows whitespace between the link
text and the link label.  It brings reference links in line with
[inline links], which (according to both original Markdown and
this spec) cannot have whitespace after the link text.  More
importantly, it prevents inadvertent capture of consecutive
[shortcut reference links]. If whitespace is allowed between the
link text and the link label, then in the following we will have
a single reference link, not two shortcut reference links, as
intended:</p>

too dangerous to allow this, as it frequently leads to

<p data-sourcepos="11963:1-11971:55" dir="auto">Syntax for images is like the syntax for links, with one
difference. Instead of [link text], we have an
<a href="@">image description</a>.  The rules for this are the
same as for [link text], except that (a) an
image description starts with <code>![</code> rather than <code>[</code>, and
(b) an image description may contain links.
An image description has inline elements
as its contents.  When an image is rendered to HTML,
this is standardly used as the image's <code>alt</code> attribute.</p>
